State Trust Lands: History, Management, and Sustainable Use

by Jon A. Souder and Sally K. Fairfax

Book Overview

Before the federal constitution was written, the Confederate Congress established a policy providing land grants for local and state governments to support public schools. Since 1802, when Ohio joined the Union, every new state has benefited from that policy. Yet today, despite the fact that states still hold 132 million acres in trust, very little is known about the management and use of these lands.
